A friend passed this list on to me after he rebuilt his front end. I have already changed out my springs, shocks, and front wheel bearings this year. Should feel like new when I am done.

If I can be so bold to say that I think you will get very nervous using the claw type of spring compressor. I bought a Klann knock off spring compressor last year when swapped out my springs. Best $170.00 I ever invested in this car.

Good luck on your front end job and enjoy the nice new feeling that you will get from the front end.
